• Land use analysis is a means of broadly classifying LAND USE ANALYSIS
how land is used.

• Each type of use has its own characteristic that can

determine compatibility, location and preference to
other land uses in an area.

• The first step in the land use analysis process is to

conduct an inventory of existing uses.

• The land use inventory classifies land uses into

different categories.

• To arrive at an optimum plan that will be both

effective and implemented, the plan must account
for past development activity as well as current
market factors and conditions that shape where and
how land will be developed.

• Because land use is a people-orientated process,

personal opinions and desires, attitudes, legal and
political considerations all have land use impacts.

LAND USE REGULATIONS
Land use regulations are common urban policies in most cities all over the world.
Common regulations include
(1) Zoning by which land use is restricted zone by zone;
(2) Lot Size (LS) regulation, which restricts the size of each housing lot;
(3) Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) control, which separates urban development areas from urbanization control areas; and
(4) Floor Area Ratio (FAR) regulation, which restricts building sizes. The adoption and implementation of these regulations vary according to the
country or the city.

Florida Land Use Development Laws and Regulations

• A variance is a formal request to alter the existing zoning approved use of the land. A zoning board can
approve a variance if the property owner can show that the current use creates a hardship.
• Variances generally fall into two categories – use variances and size/area variances.
• Large-scale development projects in Florida used to be regulated by the Development of Regional Impact (DRI)
laws. In 2015, Florida changed the regulations for large-scale developments. Today, the “state coordinated
review” process governs large-scale development.

other activities, for instance tourism and agriculture.

Group (2) includes (7) special planning Zones, "Overlays", which deal
with development applications that are located within the
boundaries of areas of special sensitivity and status such as
heritage, coastal and airport areas, etc. The developer must take into
account additional specific requirements when developing his land if
it is located within these zones. Table : Existing Land Use Distribution Of Achrol-2009

 Zoning and Land Use Planning
• Zoning is a planning control tool for regulating the built environment and creating functional real estate markets.
• It does so by dividing land that comprises the statutory area of a local authority into sections, permitting particular land uses on
specific sites to shape the layout of towns and cities and enable various types of development.
• Zoning has a relatively short history as a tool for land-use planning.
• It determines the location, size, and use of buildings and decides the density of city blocks .
